Searching Everywhere
A ground operation had also been initiated to assist the overall operations, regardless of the fact that a helicopter was dispatched to help look for sweet Kaydon. The whole search and rescue team is composed of almost 100 first responders within a certain area covering approximately 2000 acres of mountain terrain. The major question persisted before it was too late, would they be able to track down the young boy?
Grid Searches
The spokeswoman for the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, Marian O’Briant, told WVLT News that both ground search parties, along with military aid, would extensively investigate the area all throughout the evening so that they could identify the whereabouts of Kaydon. Not only was this a tremendous assignment, but there was also totally no time to lose. Many searches were being done simultaneously, so there was no way they could not really locate him.
